[Shotimes] tire sizes

[Rick Glass]

I always ran 225/50/16's on my '94 on stock slicer rims, even though many
people said they would not fit.
My speedo read 34 when doing 30 and it read 72 when running 65...
I'm not sure of the exact formula for that, but that will keep you very
close...
also keep in mind that this will create a higher mileage odometer reading as
well.....
but with the variations in speed to actual miles traveled, it may be hard to
acurately track your mileage.
I have no idea how many miles my 161k car really had on it when I sold
it....I'm thinking it was closer to 135k
